Publication by @ascocancer.bsky.social on academic medical oncology. Makes me wonder- how do we encourage more transparency among institutions to set these standards ? ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/...

Grateful to @uwbadgers.bsky.social women’s basketball team for hosting #breastcancer survivors and researchers at the game this weekend!

Moody lab pic of me in a grim piece on this wrecking ball for biomedical research. To explain “indirects": If research is a restaurant, direct costs cover ingredients & cooks' wages. Indirect costs cover kitchen, light & heat, furniture, bookkeeper etc. Lose one, the other follows! wapo.st/3Q9DrIH

Last but not least, Dr. Sharifi presenting on Genomics/Precision Medicine #SABCS24 abstracts. @uwhealth.bsky.social

What a great day of #SABCS24 @sabcs.bsky.social updates in Wisconsin co-hosted by UWCarbone, MCW and WI Association of Heme/Onc.

Excellent #SABCS updates by Drs. Gradishar and @rmoregan.bsky.social at the 8th (or 10th?) Annual WI conference. Enjoyed catching up and grateful for these mentors and friends.

Dr. Bethany Anderson eloquently presents #SABCS24 radiation abstracts at the WI Best of SABCS. Key theme is individualization based on cancer features and pt preferences. @uwhealth.bsky.social

Dr. Anna Beck from @uwhealth.bsky.social discusses @sabcs.bsky.social surgery abstracts at the WI annual update. Great to see individualization of surgery to de-escalate when appropriate

Trends in Well-Being and Burnout Among U.S. Oncologists: Challenges and Solutions @ascocancer.bsky.social @acochran12733.bsky.social @jrgralow.bsky.social ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/... @oncoalert.bsky.social

Two key questions in my mind- 1) does Her2 low expression really matter? 2) do we develop new guidelines for pathologists report this consistently?

The house cancer caucus is led by Deb Dingell (D-MI) and Deb Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)- please ask to end pre-auth, keep telehealth, expand cancer funding & keep #NIH working!! #medsky #cansky #oncsky @wassermanschultz.house.gov @repdingell.bsky.social

Usually I stick to oncology info, but seriously Rolling my eyes at the #tiktok notice promoting Trump. Propaganda at its core.

Learning about effective advocacy for #cancer at Leaders in Oncology mtg thru ACCC and @ascocancer.bsky.social.

Congratulations to my statewide WI colleagues on publication of this ph2 study- closed early but always learning from science. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @uwhealth.bsky.social

This week's cover and editorial @thelancet.bsky.social on mis- and disinformation's impact on public health www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"Without clinical trials, cancer treatment would always remain the same" [Nov 3, 2012] - via @TomBeer in @OncologyTimes ow.ly/fmaKk #ClinicalTrials #ctsm

I was born in rural Iowa with many family members who have been impacted not only by access to healthcare but incredibly poor quality of care. Systems matter in medically under resourced communities and these systems are being bankrupted. @ascopost.bsky.social

Flashbacks with flashcards as I quiz my daughter for AP Chem. #oncology colleagues- remember these?

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Dr. @noelleloconte.bsky.social weighing in on this important statement by the surgeon general on #alcohol and #cancer based in part on the work of Dr. LoConte with @ascocancer.bsky.social

Extending thanks to all my colleagues, nurses, pharmacists and staff working today to help those hospitalized with #cancer. Let’s hope for a new year of many advances thru research.

What a great line-up of speakers with guests @rmoregan.bsky.social & Bill Gradishar, plus UWCarbone faculty Drs. Marina Sharifi, Anna Beck & Bethany Anderson at the annual Wisconsin Best of #sabcs24 on Feb 1st. Co-hosted with Medical College of WI and WAHO in Milwaukee. Join us! @sabcs.bsky.social

🌟 Excited to speak at Total Health’s 2025 University of Kansas Cancer Center #BreastCancer Year in Review! 🌟 📅 When: Saturday, February 22, 2025 🕒 Time: 8:35 AM to 3:10 PM 📍 Where: Marriott Kansas City Overland Park

Congrats to all #BigTen cancer researchers who presented at #SABCS24. Our team managed to visit some of your posters, but there were so many others at the meeting. Wish we could have visited all! @rutgerscancer.bsky.social

Enjoyed spending the evening with the UW team at #SABCS24.

Pictures!!

Excited to see research from University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center’s Dr. Anna Beck on LCIS incidence increases associated with guideline changes to mammograms at age 40. Important for high risk screening & prevention. #SABCS24

Exceptional discussion about new concepts at the BigTen CRC meeting at #SABCS. Plus a gathering of colleagues who are now great friends!

Proud to have research coordinator and med school candidate, Darian Louthan present a BigTen CRC ph2 study of continued ET + alpelisib in mPI3k MBC. @rmoregan.bsky.social @rdillinger.bsky.social UWCCC

Was a great time! Love being active with these incredible competitors on the court and colleagues in treating #BreastCancer. Thanks for organizing and the snack/props.

Ready for #SABCS24! Great week ahead full of discussion of advances for #breastcancer, reviewing new studies concepts and catching up with good friends and colleagues.

Ready to pivot to #bluesky for oncology updates. Using my voice to support #science.
